Woodland Jct. was where Chicago & Eastern Illinois split into two separate main lines. In 1969, when Missouri Pacific acquired Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Missouri Pacific was ordered to sell the more easterly line to Louisville & Nashville, which eventually became part of CSX. This was established as a joint segment, controlled by Missouri Pacific and now Union Pacific. Route has been freight only since Amtrak's formation in 1971.
